Swatch and Review - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Good To Grape

Hello! Happy Sunday! I am really trying to catch up in posts, I have so many polishes I want to swatch, review and show you! Today I'll be showing you Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Good To Grape, a very creamy medium blue-toned purple. It is unique and different that other purple polishes I own. It is neither lilac or magenta, it's special. I think this may be the only purple that looks good on me.

What I used:

Base Coat: 1 coat of Pro FX Epoxy Bond Base Coat
Polish: 2 coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Good to Grape
Top Coat: 1 coat of INM Out The Door Dry Fast Top Coat

The formula of this polish was very nice. The polish was thin but not streaky at all. The first coat seemed a little shear and patchy, but the second coat filled any bare spots that the first coat did not reach and made everything completely opaque. I really liked this polish, the highly shiny topcoat made my nails look like gel nails. LOVE.

Thanks again for reading! I appreciate the love.

Swatch and Review - Color Club Halo Hues Eternal Beauty

Hi! Another review and swatch for all of you, an amazingly pretty holographic purple polish from Color Club Halo Hues 2013 Collection, Eternal Beauty. So stunning and beautiful, really lives up to its name. Might just make it up to my top 20 favourites. Yes, I know, a top 20, such a large list, but I can't just choose 1 polish! I wasn't able to get any pictures in the sunlight, but although the pictures below are indoors, they are just as pretty. Eternal Beauty is a red toned polish with a medium to strong halo. I also think that the purple base is slightly shimmery too. Please enjoy!

What I used:

Base Coat: 1 coat of Pro FX Epoxy Bond Base Coat
Polish: 2 coats of Color Club Halo Hues Eternal Beauty
Top Coat: 1 coat of INM Out the Door Dry Fast Top Coat

Great wear time on this polish too, my mom still has it on and it's been over 5 days now with NO chips or tip wear. Enjoy!

Nail Art - Multi Coloured Polka Dot Manicure

Hello! I wanted to share with you another nail art post.... polka dots! I think this manicure is so fun and versatile, you could have multi coloured dots on a colourful background for a fun, easy-going look like I had, or gold dots on a neutral beige base for a more simple, elegant, office appropriate look. So versatile, you could easily change and switch the colours for your preferences and create a totally different style. I do have to give credit for MissJenFABULOUS on YouTube, she has a tutorial on her called "Cute and Easy Polka Dot Manicures". I used her third design in the video,  I've also done her second design, I will also post that in the near future. 

I created this design starting with Essie Fiji as my base. Then, I used Essie Fifth Avenue, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lickety-Split Lime, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Pronto Purple, and Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Terracotta. After placing my dots how MissJenFABULOUS showed, I decided I wanted a little bling, so I added OPI Which is Witch on two or three of the dots on each nail. The extra sparkle really pulled the manicure together and gave it more of a nail applique (a.k.a nail sticker) look. Awesome! Let's get on with the manicure...

Left to Right: OPI Which is Witch, Essie Fiji (Base), Essie Fifth Avenue, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lickety-Split Lime, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Pronto Purple, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Terracotta

What I used:

Base Coat: 1 coat of Pro FX Epoxy Bond Base Coat
Polish: 2 coats of Essie Fiji as base, 1 coat each of polishes used for polka dots
Top Coat: 1 coat of INM Out the Door Dry Fast Top Coat

I think this design is perfect for summer, but you can easily switch the colours I used for this design for darker colours during the autumn and winter. Thank you for reading and have a great day!
